"Music helps us to tame our sorrow and gets us through to the other side." - Bill Flanagan, Senior vice president, VH1 Quoted from his essay on CBS Sunday Morning September 8, 2002

Creative individuals use many forms to express their feelings and emotions. Musicians played an important role in the events following September 11. Many well known recording artists wrote, produced, or performed music that was created in the aftermath of tragedy or was rededicated due to its new meaning in our changed world.

There are also many artists that are much less known whose creations are just as meaningful and were born of the same need. OUT OF A CLEAR BLUE SKY exhibits images of September 11 offered by both professional and amateur photographers. Playing in the background is music created by both well-known and littl- known recording artists. Their messages are offered as part of the healing and reflection of this exhibit.

Below is a list of the music compiled for this exhibit. The links provided below offer information on the artists and many include MP3 files as well.
